Chapter 2 Ranam and The Secret
One by one a group of odd people gather at a deserted alley way two blocks from the SUNMOON BAR AND LOUNGE. Mousse, Ryoga, Ukyo, Shampoo, Akane, Nabiki, Kusumi, the Kunos, Genma, Soun, Happosai, and Cologne all gathered in preparation for there reconnaissance mission to observe Ranma. All had paid quite a sum for what Nabiki found but was also in charge of this operation and at the moment was laying down the guide lines.
Nabiki coughed in a stern UGH HUM. "OK first of all any documentation is forbidden. This is for observation NOT to confront him. Do not grab his attention do not ask about him. We do NOT want to alert him to our presence. And last but not least NO physical or verbal violence no attacking him, no temper tantrums and no latching on to him. We are here in disguise for a reason. If he notices us he will simply think we are a customer and will pay us no heed. Am I understood?"
After a collective nod from the peanut gallery she led them into the restaurant and waited to be served.
"Look I see him over there," noted Akane. She saw him putting up some decorations such as banners, streamers and balls full of confetti on the ceiling as well as all over the stage on which Nabiki had seen him play his music. Such lovely music.....
"Don't point you fool," she noted several of her flunkies enjoying sodas and seemingly just some girls out on the town with their boyfriends but they were actually there because she had asked them to follow her to help take notes on Ranma. But they were happy to do something so simple and it gave them some time to just be normal with their oh-so-happy boyfriends. Nabikis work had made not just her but those who work for her suffer of loneliness because their work makes them seem so detached from regular society. Plus the late nights had made their schedule kinda wacky so they never have reliable times to be with their mates.
She brought her thoughts back to her position and went to their booth near the bar. It was higher than the other seats as like hills that went up and up. The booths and tables nearest the stage were level to the door while the rest rose a few feet and then another level of seats and another level with a kitchen at the bottom level and top level. Their booth was smack dab in the middle between the top level kitchen and the bar with a guy with a rag cleaning glasses and taking drink orders from the people.
"I think me and Tendo will go and get some drinks. Sake and maybe a beer what do you say," Genma asked.
"Why not it'll be a while before your son starts his show eh?" and the two delusional masters of the anything goes style went to get drunk. Meanwhile the people at the table were conversing with each other as to why they are here.
"So what brought each of us here on this occasion?" Nabiki asked without any sort of emotion. Usually in her work she had always done her jobs under the simple rule of no questions asked but this certain occasion had seized her curiosity.
"Shampoo came to listen to Ranma play his music. Plus it give her good reason to get away from job," replied in the same poker voice.
"That will be true when me shit turn green and smells like perfume releasing a rainbow with a pot 'o' me gold," Akane stated in a sweet song Irish accent.
"And Akane only here to make Ranma feel no good, ruin his feelings and steal him away like all others time but that no happen this time and without no potions and sneaking it with heart." Shampoo retorted angrily and she was not alone. Ukyo was also tired of Akane always winning and getting Ranma. What's so special about her? She a crazy self absorbed self-centered non- caring about anything but herself who is spoiled to the core. They had worked hard to receive what they got but she didn't have anything that wasn't given to her and she never did anything herself.
"I'm here to enjoy myself and Ranma's music. I will listen carefully to what he has to say and I am not going to be unhappy because of your bickering. I say that I want Ranma's happiness no matter what but hope that I am the lucky one who gets to be with him," Ukyo voiced her opinion.
"Now that I think about it; why did you come little sister?" Kusimi stated with a little joking behind.
"Uhh... Uhhh I don't know. I guess I was just curious. It doesn't hurt to want to understand what's going on," said a confused Akane. She was again too shy or proud or stupid (probably a combination of the three) that kept her some saying she wanted to see Ranma but didn't want to reveal that to the other girls. "We all know why Kodachi is here to all of our discomfort-" but Nabiki was cut off. " I resent that. I came here a long time ago probably before our Mom died and Dad went insane. I remember we had fun here. I remember the stand up comedy they used to have and it was splendid so I'm only here for my personal enjoyment," she finished kinda flustered.
"Well I'm here for business unfortunately and with all of us gone I couldn't stand leaving Kusimi all alone. So now lets try and get the attention of the males and invite them into the conversation. Mousse, Ryoga and Kuno before we stereotype you with your usual 'I hate Ranma' thing lets see if you have anything other than your usual answer? Why are you here?" Nabiki questioned.
"Actually now that you mention it I do have an ulterior motive behind this. When Shampoo catches Ranma and marries him they will probably move back to China to which I will not be going back. The disgrace will leave me no choice but to continue the restaurant which I'll probably buy from Cologne. I've come to spy on Ranma but also future competition in the business of restaurant dining," he finished curtly but his response had sent many people at the table into shock especially Shampoo. She never would have thought that Mousse would swallow his pride enough to even think that it was POSSIBLE that Ranma might ever take his 'beloved Shampoo' let alone confirming it like it was a fact out of a history book set to fact hundreds of years ago. The thing that had caught her unprepared the most is that he shed a tear but had quickly wiped it away faster than most people could see or maybe they just didn't want to admit that they had seen it.
Cologne's thoughts were along the same lines as her great-grand daughter's and she thought that just because of what he said tonight he'd give him the restaurant at a low price.
Ryoga had thoughts he wanted to keep private and forming plans. Mousse's, fellow Rival to Ranma, statement had started to make Ryoga think about his future as well. He knew he couldn't keep up this life and would eventually starve. He began thinking about how to replace Ranma for the Tendo marriage thing.
Although the only person who was being his usual semi retarded self Kuno's thoughts were along the lines of 'o the pigged tail goddess and Ms. Tendo o how I long for thee' and then thinking evil thoughts of Ranma and then back and forth.
Cologne was busy at tasks she had decided to waste the time until the show by unscrewing the light bulbs right overhead using her chi drop them down into her hand and giving them for Mousse to hide with the hidden Weapons Technique. But was also thinking of planing some sort of ambush for Happy to get back all the stuff he had taken from the village.
"Shhhh it's starting, " Nabiki said in an anxious voice that didn't suit her.
The same guy came on as last time but now was the first time she had truly noticed him. Before he had just been the announcer but she had never fully noted his existence and she sure had over looked quiet a looker! He was 6'1 he had a darker shade but was indescribably Japanese like that of a pure Asian but too dark to be fully Japanese he had a deep voice that carried strength a booming voice that could be gentle and sweet. She definitely had to look him over! (in more ways than just information hehe = ) ^_^ by the way this is definitely a love interest for Nabiki)
"WELCOME ladies and gentlemen, ladies translate, to Karaoke night at the SUNMOON!" the man on stage said in the booming voice. Many in the audience applauded and he continued. "Again from the district of Nermina, Ranma Saotome and the Furknin BASH CREW!!!!
By now Genma and Soun had come back just the smallest bit tipsy but still very sober. They came back with a beer in their hands. "New kind from America import called Sam Adams (couldn't resist) this place is very American styled they had a lot of America beer and stuff. I'm just glad they got good old Sake," they then clinked their glasses and drank up.
"Why hello there everyone I am Ranma Saotome this is my band and we are going to be playing some music for you. I would like to introduce you to my band," indicating the guys behind him.
"This group was six guys not including myself had had a steady job doing the background music for the Karaoke before I showed up. Afterwards we went to a party and had been jamming. I've been playing with them ever since these are my friends and band members," Ranma explained.
There was 2 African Americans, 1 African, 1 Jamaican, 1 Japanese and 1 white guy.
"These are Tyrone and Jamal Brown twins on foreign exchange. This guys also on exchange from Africa but still goes to school Furinkin my school give it up for Chad Muhammad. From Jamaica Ichi Boch. This guy is a native to Tokyo Japan welcome Yung Maski also attending .(No relation to Tenchi Muyo just random Japanese name) And last but not least Josh Broker Another foreign exchange student from America. Now tonight we are going back on the America theme. Josh," and the man in question when to a small machine off to the side and put in a CD.
"I hope you all enjoy this song...."
It's the perfect time of year Somewhere far away from here I feel fine enough I guess (with a shrug) Considering everything's a mess There's a restaurant down the street (grabbed Shampoo and Ukyos attention) Where hungry people like to eat I could walk but I'll just drive (collective huh?) It's colder than it looks outside
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn When you try to see the world beyond your front door Take your time, 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile When you realize that a guy my size might take a while Just try to figure out what all this is for
It's the perfect time of day To throw all your cares away Put the sprinkler on the lawn And run through with my gym shorts on Take a drink right from the hose Change in to some drier clothes Climb the stairs up to my room And sleep away the afternoon
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn When you try to see the world beyond your front door Take your time, 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile When you realize that a guy my size might take a while Just try to figure out what all this is for
Pinch me, pinch me 'cause I'm still asleep Please Kami tell me that I'm still asleep
On an evening such as this It's hard to tell if I exist If I pack the car and leave this town (Akane gets nervous) Who'll notice that I'm not around? I could hide out under there (under where?) I just made you say underwear I could leave, but I'll just stay All my stuff's here anyway (sad look from Ranma)
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn When you try to see the world beyond your front door Take your time, cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile When you realize that a guy my size might take a while Just try to figure out what all this is for Try to figure out what all this is for Try to see the world beyond your front door Try to figure out what all this is for
Guitar Solo by Ranma
Clapping along with everyone else Ukyo whispered "Did you actually listen and understand what he was saying?" which Akane and Shampoo pondered on the words of the song for a while.
"That was great listen to this one,"and all the sudden...
Once upon a midnight dearie I woke with something in my head I couldn't escape the memory Of a phone call and of what you said Like a game show contestant with a parting gift I could not believe my eyes When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend (Ryoga flinches) Who needs to humor me and tell me lies Yeah humor me and tell me lies And I'll lie too and say I don't mind And as we seek so shall we find And when you're feeling open I'll still be here But not without a certain degree of fear Of what will be with you and me I still can see things hopefully
But youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Why you wanna give me a run-around Is it a surefire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down
And shake me and my confidence About a great many things But I've been there I can see it cower Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings Of a bad play where the heroes are right And nobody thinks or expects too much And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights Singing "hey babe let's keep in touch" Hey baby let's keep in touch But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me And show me all the things no one else can see So what you feel becomes mine as well And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell What's yours and mine the fishing's fine And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't you feed me a line
But you Why you wanna give me a run-around Is it a surefire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down
Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking And I've got some news for you It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop And there ain't a whole lot that you can do Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder Perhaps I've grown a little cynical But I know no matter what the waitress brings I shall drink in and always be full My cup shall always be full
Oh I like coffee And I like tea I'd like to be able to enter a final plea I still got this dream that you just can't shake I love you to the point you can no longer take Well all right okay So be that way I hope and pray That there's something left to say
But youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Why you wanna give me a run-around Is it a surefire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down
But youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Why you wanna give me a run-around Is it a surefire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down
"Lets just move on this is for a special girl in my life..."
All right (can you fill me in?) come on Can you fill me in? (let's talk about it - check it out)
I was checking this girl next door when her parents went out She'd phone say hey boy come on right around So I knock at the door you were standing with a bottle of red wine ready to pour Dressed in long black satin lace to the floor So I went in then we sat down start kissing, caressing (all three girls jump) Told me 'bout Jacuzzi sounded interesting so we jumped right in All calls diverted to answer phone Please leave a message after the tone I mean me and her parent were kinda cool But they were the fine line between me and you We were just doing things young people in love do Parents trying to find out what we were up to saying
Why were you creeping round late last night? Why could I see two shadows moving in your bedroom light? Now you're dressed in black when I left you were dressed in white Can you fill me in? Calls diverted to answer phone Red wine bottle half the contents gone Midnight return Jacuzzi turned on Can you fill me in? (It's another one, it's another one)
Whenever the coast was clear and she'd me to come out I'd say hey girl come right around So she knocked at the door I was standing with the keys in my hand to the 4x4 Jumped in my ride checking that nobody saw The club we went in got bounce bounce to the rhythm Saw it was early morning though we'd better be leaving So I gave you my jacket for you to hold Told you to wear 'cos you felt cold I mean me and her didn't mean to break the rules I weren't trying to play your mum and dad for fools We were just doing things young people in love do Parents trying to find out what we were up to saying
----------------- Ukyo thinks to herself did he just blow me a kiss? No impossible.... -----------------
Why can't you keep your promises no more? Saying you'll be home by 12 come strolling in at 4 Out with the girls but leaving with the boy next door Can you fill me in? Wearing a jacket who's property? Said you'd be queuing for a taxi But you left all your money on the TV Can you fill me in? (can you fill me in?)
All they seem to do Is be checking up on you baby Watching in our every move Think someday they might approve maybe
Why were you creeping round late last night? Why could I see two shadows moving in your bedroom light? Now you're dressed in black when I left you were dressed in white Can you fill me in? (can you fill me in?) Calls diverted to answer phone Red wine bottle half the contents gone Midnight return Jacuzzi turned on Can you fill me in?
A huge roar of applause. "Who do you think that song was about?" Akane asked. "I think it was about me," Ukyo replied and not in pride but just throwing suggestions out there. They continued to ponder this.
"Now this song is for all the black people in the band so I be chillin on the guitar. Roll it," placing the guitar around his neck he started a slow pace.
Verse 1 Damn it feels good to be a gangsta A real gangsta-ass nigga plays his cards right A real gangsta-ass nigga never runs his fuckin mouth Cuz real gangsta-ass niggas don't start fights And niggas always gotta high cap Showin' all his boys how he shot em But real gangsta-ass niggas don't flex nuts Cuz real gangsta-ass niggas know they got em And everything's cool in the mind of a gangsta Cuz gangsta-ass niggas think deep Up three-sixty-five a year 24/7 Cuz real gangsta ass niggas don't sleep And all I gotta say to you Wannabe, gonnabe, cocksuckin', pussy-eatin' prankstas Cuz when the fry dies down what the fuck you gonna do Damn it feels good to be a gangsta Verse 2 Damn it feels good to be a gangsta Feedin' the poor and helpin out wit they bills Although I was born in Jamaica Now I'm in the US makin' deals Damn it feels good to be a gangsta I mean one that you don't really know Ridin' around town in a drop-top Benz Hittin' switches in my black six-fo' Now gangsta-ass niggas come in all shapes and colors Some got killed in the past But this gangtsa here is a smart one Started living for the lord and I'll last Now all I gotta say to you Wannabe, gonna be, pussy-eatin' cocksuckin' prankstas When the shit jumps off what the fuck you gonna do Damn it feels good to be a gangsta Verse 3 Damn it feels good to be a gangsta A real gangta-ass nigga knows the play Real gangsta-ass niggas get the fliest of the bitches Ask that gangsta-ass nigga Little Jake Now bitches look at gangsta-ass niggas like a stop sign And play the role of Little Miss Sweet But catch the bitch all alone get the digit take her out and then dump-hittin' the ass with the meat Cuz gangsta-ass niggas be the gang playas And everything's quiet in the clique A gangsta-ass nigga pulls the trigger And his partners in the posse ain't tellin' off shit Real gangsta-ass niggas don't talk much All ya hear is the black from the gun blast And real gangsta-ass niggas don't run for shit Cuz real gangsta-ass niggas can't run fast Now when you in the free world talkin' shit do the shit Hit the pen and let the mothafuckas shank ya But niggas like myself kick back and peep game Cuz damn it feels good to be a gangsta Verse 4 And now, a word from the President!

"Well, now this is one good song and a house fav," as he picked up his guitar. It had a painting of a horse in a green plain. "Here it is."
And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be (smile) And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life 'Cause sooner or later it's over I just don't want to miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

"Well this is the last one and then we split so lets make it good boys," off they went.
Could you whisper in my ear The things you want to feel I'll give you anything To feel it comin' Do you wake up on your own And wonder where you are (lost look from Ranma) You live with all your faults I wanna wake up where you are I won't say anything at all So why don't you slide Yeah we're gonna let is slide Don't you love the life you killed The priest is on the phone Your father hit the wall Your ma disowned you Don't suppose I'll ever know What it means to be a man Something I can't charge I'll live around it I wanna wake up where you are I won't say anything at all So why don't you slide Mmmmm slide And I'll do anything you ever Dreamed to be complete Little pieces of the nothing that, fall May put your arms around me What you feel is what you are And what you are is beautiful May do you manna get married Or run away And I'll do anything you ever Dreamed to be complete Little pieces of the nothing that, fall May put your arms around me What you feel is what you are And what you are is beautiful May do you wanna get married Or run away I wanna wake up where you are I won't say anything at all Yeah slide And I'll do anything you ever Dreamed to be complete Little pieces of the nothing that, fall And I'll do anything you ever Dreamed to be complete Little pieces of the nothing that, fall Oh Oh Oh slide (Just slide between the sheets of all the beds you never knew) Yeah slide Why don't you slide into my room Just slide into my room Oh, we'll run away, run away, run away
"Did you enjoy that?" the band yelled to the crowd. Their response was a deafening cry that would shatter your eardrums. Even the group of Ranma's friends joined in.
"Yo Ranma I think that's a yes," Josh retorted with a crowd laugh.
"Cya!" and the as the band left and they shook Ranma puts on his apron and goes up to the top level. As he begins to walk toward them he bows and says "Hello I'm Ranma Saotome and I'll be your waiter for this evening."

Chapter 2 Ranam and The Secret
One by one a group of odd people gather at a deserted alley way two blocks from the SUNMOON BAR AND LOUNGE. Mousse, Ryoga, Ukyo, Shampoo, Akane, Nabiki, Kusumi, the Kunos, Genma, Soun, Happosai, and Cologne all gathered in preparation for there reconnaissance mission to observe Ranma. All had paid quite a sum for what Nabiki found but was also in charge of this operation and at the moment was laying down the guide lines.
Nabiki coughed in a stern UGH HUM. "OK first of all any documentation is forbidden. This is for observation NOT to confront him. Do not grab his attention do not ask about him. We do NOT want to alert him to our presence. And last but not least NO physical or verbal violence no attacking him, no temper tantrums and no latching on to him.

This guy is a native to Tokyo Japan welcome Yung Maski also attending .(No relation to Tenchi Muyo just random Japanese name) And last but not least Josh Broker Another foreign exchange student from America. Now tonight we are going back on the America theme. Josh," and the man in question when to a small machine off to the side and put in a CD.
"I hope you all enjoy this song...."
It's the perfect time of year Somewhere far away from here I feel fine enough I guess (with a shrug) Considering everything's a mess There's a restaurant down the street (grabbed Shampoo and Ukyos attention) Where hungry people like to eat I could walk but I'll just drive (collective huh?) It's colder than it looks outside
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn When you try to see the world beyond your front door Take your time, 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile When you realize that a guy my size might take a while Just try to figure out what all this is for
It's the perfect time of day To throw all your cares away Put the sprinkler on the lawn And run through with my gym shorts on Take a drink right from the hose Change in to some drier clothes Climb the stairs up to my room And sleep away the afternoon
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn When you try to see the world beyond your front door Take your time, 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile When you realize that a guy my size might take a while Just try to figure out what all this is for
Pinch me, pinch me 'cause I'm still asleep Please Kami tell me that I'm still asleep
On an evening such as this It's hard to tell if I exist If I pack the car and leave this town (Akane gets nervous) Who'll notice that I'm not around? I could hide out under there (under where?) I just made you say underwear I could leave, but I'll just stay All my stuff's here anyway (sad look from Ranma)
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn When you try to see the world beyond your front door Take your time, cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile When you realize that a guy my size might take a while Just try to figure out what all this is for Try to figure out what all this is for Try to see the world beyond your front door Try to figure out what all this is for
Guitar Solo by Ranma
Clapping along with everyone else Ukyo whispered "Did you actually listen and understand what he was saying?" which Akane and Shampoo pondered on the words of the song for a while.
"That was great listen to this one,"and all the sudden...
Once upon a midnight dearie I woke with something in my head I couldn't escape the memory Of a phone call and of what you said Like a game show contestant with a parting gift I could not believe my eyes When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend (Ryoga flinches) Who needs to humor me and tell me lies Yeah humor me and tell me lies And I'll lie too and say I don't mind And as we seek so shall we find And when you're feeling open I'll still be here But not without a certain degree of fear Of what will be with you and me I still can see things hopefully
But youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Why you wanna give me a run-around Is it a surefire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down
And shake me and my confidence About a great many things But I've been there I can see it cower Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings Of a bad play where the heroes are right And nobody thinks or expects too much And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights Singing "hey babe let's keep in touch" Hey baby let's keep in touch But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me And show me all the things no one else can see So what you feel becomes mine as well And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell What's yours and mine the fishing's fine And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't you feed me a line
But you Why you wanna give me a run-around Is it a surefire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down
Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking And I've got some news for you It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop And there ain't a whole lot that you can do Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder Perhaps I've grown a little cynical But I know no matter what the waitress brings I shall drink in and always be full My cup shall always be full
Oh I like coffee And I like tea I'd like to be able to enter a final plea I still got this dream that you just can't shake I love you to the point you can no longer take Well all right okay So be that way I hope and pray That there's something left to say
But youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Why you wanna give me a run-around Is it a surefire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down
But youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Why you wanna give me a run-around Is it a surefire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down
"Lets just move on this is for a special girl in my life..."
All right (can you fill me in?) come on Can you fill me in? (let's talk about it - check it out)
I was checking this girl next door when her parents went out She'd phone say hey boy come on right around So I knock at the door you were standing with a bottle of red wine ready to pour Dressed in long black satin lace to the floor So I went in then we sat down start kissing, caressing (all three girls jump) Told me 'bout Jacuzzi sounded interesting so we jumped right in All calls diverted to answer phone Please leave a message after the tone I mean me and her parent were kinda cool But they were the fine line between me and you We were just doing things young people in love do Parents trying to find out what we were up to saying
Why were you creeping round late last night? Why could I see two shadows moving in your bedroom light? Now you're dressed in black when I left you were dressed in white Can you fill me in? Calls diverted to answer phone Red wine bottle half the contents gone Midnight return Jacuzzi turned on Can you fill me in? (It's another one, it's another one)
Whenever the coast was clear and she'd me to come out I'd say hey girl come right around So she knocked at the door I was standing with the keys in my hand to the 4x4 Jumped in my ride checking that nobody saw The club we went in got bounce bounce to the rhythm Saw it was early morning though we'd better be leaving So I gave you my jacket for you to hold Told you to wear 'cos you felt cold I mean me and her didn't mean to break the rules I weren't trying to play your mum and dad for fools We were just doing things young people in love do Parents trying to find out what we were up to saying
----------------- Ukyo thinks to herself did he just blow me a kiss? No impossible.... -----------------
Why can't you keep your promises no more? Saying you'll be home by 12 come strolling in at 4 Out with the girls but leaving with the boy next door Can you fill me in? Wearing a jacket who's property? Said you'd be queuing for a taxi But you left all your money on the TV Can you fill me in? (can you fill me in?)
All they seem to do Is be checking up on you baby Watching in our every move Think someday they might approve maybe
Why were you creeping round late last night? Why could I see two shadows moving in your bedroom light? Now you're dressed in black when I left you were dressed in white Can you fill me in? (can you fill me in?) Calls diverted to answer phone Red wine bottle half the contents gone Midnight return Jacuzzi turned on Can you fill me in?
A huge roar of applause. "Who do you think that song was about?" Akane asked. "I think it was about me," Ukyo replied and not in pride but just throwing suggestions out there. They continued to ponder this.
"Now this song is for all the black people in the band so I be chillin on the guitar. Roll it," placing the guitar around his neck he started a slow pace.

"Well, now this is one good song and a house fav," as he picked up his guitar. It had a painting of a horse in a green plain. "Here it is."
And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be (smile) And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life 'Cause sooner or later it's over I just don't want to miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive (gasp from girls) And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
Guitar Duet With Ranma and Josh
And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am
"Well this is the last one and then we split so lets make it good boys," off they went.

"Did you enjoy that?" the band yelled to the crowd. Their response was a deafening cry that would shatter your eardrums. Even the group of Ranma's friends joined in.
"Yo Ranma I think that's a yes," Josh retorted with a crowd laugh.
"Cya!" and the as the band left and they shook Ranma puts on his apron and goes up to the top level. As he begins to walk toward them he bows and says "Hello I'm Ranma Saotome and I'll be your waiter for this evening."
